Since the last days, i often fly with Command- or Drone-Ships. I recognized, that they have multiple Skills with focus on suporting my Teammembers in a defined range. In a Squad, i prefere to coorperate with my teammates. This is very hard with those ships, because i never know the distance to all of my squadmembers. For this Case, a little Distance Indicator would be very nice, which shows the distance to my squad members. It could be placed right beside the Squad Overview on the top right of the screen, under the radar.
I agree with the points you two have mentioned. The radar indeed gives u a good feeling for your area but, in “fast” situations, i prefer numbers to focus on. The reason is, that numbers can be read faster then a radar (in my opinion).
I agree. Just joined the forums and found this thread because I was wondering about a distance-to-target underneath the little PiP view of your target in the top-left of the screen. It’s very cute to have the PiP view, but I’d almost rather just have the distance - both would be great. As with the distance to squad members, it’s a lot faster/easier to glance at a value in a fixed position on the screen than it is to interpret your radar or moving HUD elements.
